Description

Size and long/short grading

Greefa offers two different possibilites for measuring the size of fruits.

Optical size sorting
High resolution CCD infrared (black and white) cameras are used to determine the fruit size. Using a special combination of hardware and software, each fruit is measured several times, resulting in an extremely precise measurement.

Long/short sorting

The optional programme long/short determines the length and diameter of the fruit. This makes it possible, for instance, to eliminate flat and elongated fruits.

Colour grading

Using a colour ccd camera system, the fruits are sorted on colour. The colour of the entire fruit is displayed.

Possibilities

Number of colour groups varies per product and per machine

Determination of average colour value, blush and background colour is possible

Relative weight for citrus fruits

This programme determines the specific weight of each fruit, by using the combination of volume and weight. It is possible to sort out dry, spongy citrus fruits.

Possibilities

Removing dry, spongy citrus fruits

Can be placed on every sorting machine

15 fruits per second per lane

External quality (iQS)

iQS determines the external characteristics of a fruit. While the fruit rotates under the camera box, the cameras take till 60 shots. Software analyses these shots, and defects are projected onto a software model.

Possibilities

External quality determination

2-10 lanes

Suitable for CombiSort, EasySort, GeoSort, SmartSort and MSE

15 fruits per second per lane

External quality with UV light (iPIX)

iPIX is a measuring system that detects translucency on citrus fruits. UV-lighting and special filters are used to illuminate defects on citrus fruits, which are invisible to the human eye.
